Info for the actual digitizing of documents.

• This site: Various State Digital Efforts - http://www.loc.gov/rr/program/bib/statememory/
• Led me to: Alabama Mosaic - http://www.alabamamosaic.org
• Where I found this: Archivists Toolkit - http://aabc.ca/TK_07_automation_digitization.html
• And this: Introduction to Imaging - http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/standards/introimages/index.htm
